Imagine your team is stranded on an unknown island...
No job descriptions, no hierarchy, just a group of people who must work together to survive.
At that moment, everything becomes visible
Leadership, communication, trust, differences in perspective. How do you respond to certain situations? Are you aware of your own communication, and is your message clear enough? That is exactly what Off the Map shows you. A compelling experience in which interactive scenarios allow you to discover how behavior, cooperation, and inclusion can either reinforce or hinder each other.
Participants don’t learn about collaboration, they experience it.
Who is Off the Map intended for?
Off the Map is for organizations that want to consciously build high-performance teams in a complex, hybrid work environment.
The program has been developed for HR and L&D professionals, MT members, and transformation leads who are looking for measurable organizational development and concrete tools to strengthen team behavior, collaboration, and performance. Off the Map is also valuable for consultancy and implementation partners who want to deepen and accelerate their change processes.
Together, we make invisible communication and collaboration patterns visible, create space for different perspectives, and strengthen teams’ problem-solving abilities.
This is how organizations build agile, effective teams that perform sustainably and are ready for the future.
In what ways can Off the Map be used within organizations?
Off the Map is something you have to experience.
Onboardingtool
Off the Map can be used as an onboarding tool, giving new employees insight into their own communication style and collaboration preferences. This allows them to develop a shared language for collaboration and problem-solving from day one, which speeds up their integration into teams.
Individual gaming experience
Participants go through a personal storyline in which choices in the field of communication and collaboration become immediately visible. The AI responds dynamically to these choices, creating a unique and recognizable experience for each user. This forms the basis for mapping natural behavior in uncertain situations.
Personal reflection & insights
After the game, each participant receives an individual report with reflective insights into patterns, strengths, and opportunities for development. This data helps to increase self-awareness and provides concrete questions for translating insights into daily practice. The report serves as a safe starting point for personal growth.
Collective team analysis (optional)
An anonymized team report can be drawn up for the manager, revealing the general dynamics and mutual patterns. This overview contains a practical action plan with follow-up steps to strengthen joint effectiveness and cooperation. This creates a shared picture of the team's growth capacity without violating individual privacy.
Confidentiality & safety
Personal data always remains strictly confidential. Managers and leaders receive only aggregated team insights and never individual results. This ensures psychological safety and encourages openness and honest reflection.
Support & in-depth information
Off the Map can be used entirely digitally, both at an individual and team level. In addition, the program can be expanded with:
- A personal explanation of the results
- Team sessions or presentations to interpret insights together
- Guidance in implementing the action and development plan
- A follow-up process (PDCA cycle) to measure, secure, and further develop effects
Can also be used as onboardingtool
New employees first gain insight into their own communication and collaboration style: how they share information, deal with differences, and approach problems. This helps them become more aware of their own role and impact within a team context.
Based on that personal insight, they learn to recognize different perspectives and develop a shared language for collaboration and problem solving from day one. This makes joining a team more effective, accelerates integration, and increases the chance of successful collaboration, even before they are fully part of the existing team dynamics.

-15%
Less absenteeism and lower dropout rates
Teams with clear communication and better collaboration generally experience less stress and misunderstandings. Organizations with teams that collaborate effectively show approximately 15% lower absenteeism rates in research.
Retention
Of talent and lower attrition rates
Good cooperation and commitment contribute to employee retention. Organizations with strong teams have demonstrably lower turnover, which, depending on the size of the organization, can lead to substantial cost savings.
+30%
Stronger team performance
Teams that actively utilize different perspectives and coordinate better make better decisions and solve problems faster. In such teams, up to 30% better team performance is observed.
+15-20%
More innovation and creative problem-solving skills
Teams that communicate clearly and allow for different perspectives show 15–20% higher innovation output in research.
+10-25%
Increased productivity and efficiency
When communication and collaboration patterns are made explicit, inefficiencies and rework decrease. In well-functioning teams, this often translates into a 10–25% increase in productivity.
Off the Map contributes to this by making behavior and communication visible, providing teams with immediate, actionable insights, and creating a shared language for collaboration. This creates a strong foundation on which teams can structurally grow in performance and impact.
